The BFG by Roald Dahl is a children's book. The book is narrated through the eyes of Sophie, a young orphan, and describes her life after she encounters the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). Initially, Sophie is frightened of the BFG and worries he will eat her, but they eventually become friends and save England from evil giants.
The main message of the story has to do with real morality versus conventions. Although the BFG appears frightening on the surface and does not follow the conventions of polite society, he is a morally good character, showing what matters is character, not external appearances or circumstances. The BFG and Sophie are both despised outcasts, but prove themselves heroic. Trust and friendship can overcome the barriers between even the most superficially different people. As shown in BFG's treatment of his opponents, it is always important to choose fair and just means to achieve one's ends.
